NOTES B/W. Silent

Classic antiwar film which follows the progress of a well-off

young man from a small town going to war.

For me silent film doesn't work when there is such 'a lot of

story' to tell. This film is crying out for dialogue. Generally

well filmed but many scenes are over long. The battle

scenes begin unrealistically but do improve.

Near the end there is a brief scene of a below the knee

amputee (left) who returns home and is accepted by his

girlfriend.
